Just wondering if anyone has any experience of using mooncups? I'm thinking of buying one and would be interested in any feedback. I'm not keen on the amount of chemicals used in tampons and pads or the fact that they end up in landfill. I spend a fortune every month on sanitary products and often leak with tampons as my bleeding is so heavy.
Any comments would be much appreciated x

Hi Scribble, I've used a diva cup for 2 years now. They take some practiced to put in & out but Id never go back to tampons or towels. You can buy different sizes so you should be ok even on a heavy day. I have never had a leak even over night but the trick is to make sure it is around your cervix. Give it a try you will love or hate them x
I have used a mooncup for years take a little while to perfect putting it in but find it brilliant and obviously environmentally much better. Someone posted about them on here last night and I found this brilliant website with reviews of all sorts of stuff which I never knew existed. 😳reusablemenstrualcup.com/ca...
I do leak sometimes with it but not as badly as with tampons and good at beginning and end of period so you not removing tampons with few drops on I really worried about the tampon fibres too. You also get an idea of flow too to tell gyne. On that website lots of reviews of washable towels and tampons weirdly and stylish period pants it's not selling anything just reviewing so quite interesting.
